The problem we have in this country today is that we don't share common goals.
That is a bit of an overstatement, we generally agree that sick people should be treated, people hurt in natural disasters should be helped, unarmed defenseless people shouldn't be gunned down and everyone should have access to education and employment.
I'm sure we all agree that we don't want the planer to become unhabitable in low lying areas like much of Florida because the Glaciers melted around the world.
What we don't agree on is how to achieve these goals.
I should also point out that too many of us simply only care about themselves and their immediate families.
So while we may agree that sick people should be treated, some feel that this is primarily their own problem. Help should be provided as a last resort and the fact that it may cost them everything they have to pay for care is just a bad break.
Even if you believe this and feel that those who went to school got good jobs and have health insurance should be protected, what should the others do? They can't go back in time and redo certain life decisions.
If you are a Christian, are they the prodigal sons who get feasted once they see the error of their ways?
